Abstract
‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) is a pathogen causing Huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease), which is highly destructive to citrus production. The CLas strains harbor prophages. We identified two unique prophages, designated as P-PA19-1 and P-PA19-2, in CLas strain PA19 from Pakistan using next-generation sequencing analysis. P-PA19-1 prophage has high sequence similarity (identity: 78.23%) at the early-gene region of prophage SC1 (Type 1), but it is significantly divergent in th
